Lanphere group funds breast cancer research

Bob Lanphere’s Beaverton Honda will host a kickoff event for its support of the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Tuesday, March 12, from noon to 2 p.m. The dealership at 10760 S.W. Canyon Road will feature food and live music, and you’ll be able to purchase event T-shirts and wristbands.

You can also purchase $10 raffle tickets, for a chance to win a 2013 Kia Soul. From March 12 to May 11, the Lanphere dealership group will match every $5 donation made on its individual dealership websites.

The walk will take place on Saturday, May 11, at Portland International Raceway. More than 8 million Making Strides walkers have raised more than $460 million since 1983. More information about participating in the walk can be found at www.makingstrideswalk.org.
